Hooray for you!! This is a red letter day indeed. Gerard Butler has been one of my favorites since Phantom of the Opera. He looks even better (in my humble opinion) with a half-mask and deeply v'd, ruffled shirt. And he can really sing! Enjoy the rest of your week!xo,Anne

What a blessing for you! I am so excited for you. That baby bed was gorgeous!!! My daughter and I watched the Bachelorette too. We loved both Chris and Roberto, but knew that in her heart she was going to pick Roberto. We hope that they pick Chris to be the next Bachelor. He has such a sweet and kind heart! Congratulations again!!! Love & blessings from NC!

But, thank goodness Frank is gone what a looser!!!! Have a great week. HUGS!Charlene

I wish you many more of THOSE kind of days! How wonderful. Now you most restock with more treasures. I think it's HIS way of helping you simplify for your move into you beautiful home. (You did say you needed to get rid of things!)

Yaa Hooo for your! I'm opening my first booth soon. I'm scared and excited. You are an inspiration to me for this. I have never done anything like this before.Wish me luck!Now you probably need to go junkin to fill that space up!Enjoy your day,KarenSue

Congrats on getting everything in your booth sold!!! Your booth is beautiful - it's not surprising that someone would come in and want everything!Thanks for Gerard - if you tilt your head it's like your laying down with him :)

Anne,It's no wonder someone wiped you out! I linked to your post on the "think globally, start locally" {loved that humor!} and your prices are so fair! Yummy, yummy stuff. Come and peddle your wares in the Atlanta area...second thought, I'd never leave the beautiful Hill Country for this rat race. never mind. Xo, Sue

I'm so happy for you!!!! I'm doing the happy dance for you :)How did you like the ending last night? I was so thrilled. I had been reading reality steve who said Ali leaves with no one! I went to bed with a big smile on my face!XO

Of course she bought you out...she has good taste!!! Thanks for the eye candy. Just heard that Gerard was chosen to be in the American version of "The girl with the Dragon Tattoo" YAY!!!! love Brad Pitt but he was all wrong for this role.xxxCarole

That is so funny, I just said to you 'where you doing the happy dance'. I didn't know you actually said that~ I'm not one bit surprised you got wiped out, you have outstanding taste my friend. Love that wicker crib, I'll bet the buyer did her own happy dance. And speaking for us hussies, of course this post goes viral with the porn shot. LOL Now Kevin is saying 'sure you guys talk about art & antiques'. Your fan & friend, Lisa

Good on you for making those amazing sales. In fact it is amazing that all that great stuff had been in your boot for so long.I don't know if you got wind of it but I tweeted your 'enough' post and it got picked up by some other people too. Your really should get on twitter too :-)

I am so happy for you. A dealers dream to sell out. Shopping, shopping to get more pretties for your booth. Thank you so much for your lovely comment. I hope next month has you doing the happy dance too.

My gosh...If that is one of THOSE days, I'd really hate to hear about one of T-H-O-S-E days!!!! hahahahaGood for you girl. I say quit the hospital and stock that booth up again so ya'll can pay the new house off immediately!!!I miss you girl...Sorry I haven't been visiting.(head down in shame)please forgive me...i beg of you st. anne:)))

Anne! I am so proud of you and happy about the great lot of sales! You must be beside yourself with giddiness : ) I have loved watching your space evolve and have learned a lot from you as I am about 3 months into my journey now. I love doing the space and want it to be just a little bit more lucrative over the next several months. So many things to learn.

Yes, you do need to restock and I happen to LOVE the Rustoleum 2x coverage spray paint in Heirloon White matte finish. I've probably used 50 cans of it over the last several months. It covers so well, is a perfect shad of off-white and goes on so smoothly. I've never had a can get "gummed up" on me. I use one of those little attachments to spray easier and that works wonderfully. I buy mine at Home Depot. It is the best line of spray paint EVER.

I'm about to paint a bench that we made from an old double headboard and footboard. Now that one won't be going to the shop. It will be staying her at Starview Sonnet with me. I really think it's going to be fantastic in my gallery/hallway. Can't wait to pile it up with seasonal pillows.

Although many of my handmade items have begun selling, I DO LOVE giving those long forgotten smaller furniture pieces a whole new life. It is truly amazing the details that can "out" when you paint something off-white.

I've also started attending some auctions....Now isn't that just a blast? An all-day event, but so worth it!

Do you ever run across these little telephone stands? I think it is from the late 50's or early 60's. Don't see them too often.

Oh Miss Anne, So much has happened in your life these past few months that I have neglected blogland! Congrats on your sucessful day at the shop. And, your new home!!!!! How wonderful I can't wait to see how you decorate it. My cottage/shoppe has finally begun come and check it out. hugs,Kim

Wow I bet you did do the Happy Dance. I can just see you. lolIsn't it great when you have a shopper like that one. Enjoyed all your pictures and my visit over here today.Hope you entered my giveaway that ends FridayLoveMaggie
